BMW Z4: E85 Roadster and E86 Coupe including M and Alpina 2003 to 2009: The Essential Buyer’s Guide

This is meant to be a Buyers Guide, but it is more than that. It gives lots of good well written information by someone who is familiar with this model. Useful for owners and prospective owners.

This is an easy to read but practical and useful guide to buying the E85/86 versions of the BMW Z4. I have one of these cars so I can vouch for the accuracy of the content. I only wish this book had been available before I bought the car. Anyone who is thinking about buying either versions of the Z4 would be well advised to invest a few pounds in this book. It will certainly point you in the right direction and could help you avoid a few of the pitfalls.

Full of useful info. Like the book says it only covers up to 2009 model. Would like to see vol.2 where models from 2009 until 2016 when production ceased. I think it was 2013 when the last updates were made which included engine range, 2 litre 4 cylinder in three stages of tune plus a 3 litre.My ambition is to buy a used Z4 in a couple of years time, so the later models 2009 on are of particular interest

Good photographs, well written and contains some useful information for prospective Z4 buyers.

Helpful in several ways.

Great little book

I read this book the week before buying my Z4M (which I am loving by the way). Having never owned a Z4 I found it genuinely useful to have all the facts I needed to know in one place. It was more in depth than some of the out of date online buyers guides. Being female I felt I needed to turn up to view the car and know what I was looking at and after reading this book I felt a lot more confident about what to look for. I used the test to check the roof drains to haggle a little money off the car purchase price too! Overall I’d say this is an excellent book if you are new to Z4, but maybe not so useful if you already own one.

I believe the content is accurate and a good reflection of owning and driving the marque. I am a moderator of the Z4-forum.com, which has over 25,000 members who are very knowledgeable and I believe the book will appeal to such enthusiasts as well as being an invaluable guide for those considering buying a Z4. I liked the mixture of photographs presented, the tips for buying and owning, the little quirks of the car that were discussed (like the poor design of roof motor and how to fix it), and the statistics at the end of the book. You can find almost everything on the web if you look long and hard enough, however this book brings the important bits together in one place and will appeal predominantly to those who are new to the Z4 – as such, I believe this book is a must for anyone seriously thinking of owing a Z4.

Comprato ad acquisto dell'auto già avvenuto. Utile ma si trova di più sul web.

For a BMW enthusiast, there is nothing extra. But it gathers all information that you can search on the internet and tbh that helps as a reminder when you are searching for your perfect car. Checklist and tips are all covered.

En gros pas grand chose qu'on ne trouve sur le net. Mini book, rapport prix performance pas flatteur. Je erste sur ma faim, et j'ai le sentiment de m'être fait piégé.

Very basic information that you can find for free online ... wikipidieA type of history and a car buyer stepby step guide common to every single vehicle ... not worth the purschase ... the z4 will become a classic without a doubt , i was more excepting an honest review how this machine is incredibly great .
